- 1982 ZIMMER GOLDEN
SPIRIT CUSTOM "LOG SPLITTER"
- Summary : Part 1982
Zimmer Golden Spirit, part lumber jack, this luxury car
with built-in log splitter can split the wood, then split
the scene.
- Description : For
this build it was "goodbye, crash helmet" and "hello,
wool cap," as Jesse and the crew created a log splitter
out of a 1982 powder blue Zimmer Golden Spirit, a car
made famous in the early '80s for an over-the-top,
pimped-out luxury style. Jesse and his team cut the
Zimmer in half, extending the car. After a log was
dropped in, the car would come back together via a couple
of hydraulic cylinders and thus split the log. The Log
Splitter boasts an 18hp gas-driven V-twin engine, a
4-way/3-position control valve and a 7-gallon oil
reservoir. Hydraulics expert Eddie Nahir assisted with
the build of the Log Splitter. He was skeptical about
getting the car working properly in five days, and he
became very frustrated when Jesse changed the specs of
the opening from 36" to 24". Among other things, Jesse
and his team struggled on how to support the car to keep
it from splitting in half while splitting the wood. THE

Coast Choppers, Long Beach, CA, Eddie Nahir, hydraulics
